Every time winter rolls around my nose bleeds. I know the electric base board heating. I run vaporizer to put moisture in the air, any other suggestions?

It's a combination. Partly due to a simple vein in the nose. dry tissues in your head breach the vein wall. I had one cauterized to stop frequent nose bleeds in the winter and from a rise in blood pressure. Dry tissues would crack the vessels coming from my sinus floor. I had it done about 10 years ago and maybe have only one a year now. I was very happy with the results after healing. One thing I wish I'd had tried is warm nasal rinse.
A full warm water saline rinse goes in one nostril and out the other. It soothes with warmth, it draws out the entire gunk and shrinks the tissue (like swimming in the ocean, but without the eye stinging). It will help with nasal dryness and also heal damage.
Buffered salt doesn't 'sting' as much as plain salt water. You can use a new method like Nasopure, or the vintage, Netipot
You can do this as often as you like with no side effects

just try and put a little dab of vaseline in each nostril. It will help keep the nose moist, since it sounds as if the dry heat is what is causing your nosebleeds.

You need to run a humidifier to put a lot of moisture in the air, especially in your bedroom.

You can get those nasal sprays, but anything you sedate yourself with will eventually become habit forming.
